WE DO NOT ALLOW HUNTING ON OUR RANCH!
We honor and support our neighbors. In rural Montana, our neighbors raise horses, sheep, goats, cattle, hogs, chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys, geese, ducks, rabbits and other farm animals. Like us, our neighbors do not appreciate the shooting of ammunition or arrows near livestock, farm animals, pets, children and loved ones. There are shooting ranges close by.
